Torque nut to 135 Nm/ 100 lb. ft.
2. Install alternator on pad mount per vehicle manu-
facturer’s instructions, including hardware specifi-
cations and torque.
3. All cabling, wiring or conduit must be supported
within 305 mm/12 in. of termination on alternator.

handling maximum alternator output with mini-
mum voltage drop.
5. Install regulator as follows:
A2-334—install regulator on alternator and torque
mounting screws to 8.5 Nm/75 lb. in. Plug alterna-
tor-to-regulator harness securely into regulator.
